3:00 am
we're watching two major stories for you at this hour. really natural disasters. we're going to take you live to the jersey shore which is once again being forced to rebuild. seems like we were just there after hurricane sandy, reporting on this iconic picture. remember it? not even a year later, images there even worse. much more in just a moment. and in a very different part of the country, rescuers working around the clock, trying to save as many people as possible this morning from those flash floods, really can't believe the video we've been watching for more than a day now. take a look at this man, trapped in his car. it took rescuers an hour to get him out. thankfully he's okay as far as we know, one of the hundreds of people that had to be rescued because of all of the rain. >> another amazing piece of video, a girl is run over by an out-of-control suv. but remember when things are at their worst, people often at their best. wait until you hear the amazing story of a group of people coming to their rescue. we'll get some of those heroes
3:01 am
for you this morning. let's start off with this, horrible, no other way to describe it. less than a year after the devastation of hurricane sandy, two towns struggling to recover alongside the jersey shore are hit by tragedy once again. a big stretch of the iconic boardwalk and dozens of businesses damaged and destroyed by flames in seaside heights and seaside park. it's a one-two punch that clearly no one saw coming. new jersey governor chris christie calling the destruction unthinkable. don lemon is live from seaside park. months of rebuilding and healing. they're looking to a good season. wiped out in a heartbeat for so many people. >> reporter: and you know what, kate, i wish i had good news but i think it's -- to be honest here, by the time the sun comes up this is going to be worse than we thought. reports of businesses being destroyed are going up as we talk to officials here. and what we're hearing is that what sandy didn't destroy, this
3:02 am
fire certainly did. a state of emergency on the jersey shore. hundreds of firefighters battling a massive inferno that raged into the night. the fire finally under control. the fast-moving blaze destroying dozens of businesses in a six-block stretch in just hours, along the boardwalk between seaside park and seaside heights two communities hit hard by superstorm sandy nearly win year ago. >> i said to my staff, i feel like i want to throw up. >> reporter: this amateur video shows the fire erupting at this ice cream stand just after 2:00 p.m. thursday. >> don't go in there! >> reporter: within hours, the fire engulfed block after block, spread by high winds gusting over 30 miles per hour. >> my manager came in the stand and told me to get out because there was smoke coming up through the boardwalk. we ran away and turned around again and there was just flames coming out of the building. >> reporter: the intern know so big first responders had to pump
3:03 am
water from this nearby bay. the fire eventually contained about i a 20-foot wide trench built by firefighters. >> within 15 minutes there was more flames than i had ever seen in my life. it's terrible what's going on, it really is. >> it's horrifying what's going on here, the whole town, people that grew up here, work here are suffering a lot of damage. >> after everything that we just went through for rebuilding everything, especially the shore and to know that it's all burning down now. i'm sorry. >> reporter: the thick black smoke could be seen for miles. governor chris christie urging the public to stay out of the area. >> my advice to you, in fact my admonition is do not come here. do not travel. stay away. >> reporter: this area near the funtown pier, one of the faw stretches of boardwalk that survived sandy has fallen victim to this incredible fire. the neighboring pier's roller coaster washed into the ocean became a symbolic image of jersey strength.
3:04 am
repairs to the boardwalk after sandy completed in time for its summer season re-opening this may. the state's resolve being tested once again. >> and listen, this is us. as soon as this is over, we'll pick ourselves up, we'll dust ourselves off and get back to work. >> reporter: and believe it or not, that fire still not out. the good news, though, it's contained. every single bit of fire apparatus within miles, 35 different fire companies out here. at first, it was four blocks of businesses, then six blocks. the first fire trench didn't hold. they had to build another one. this fire spreading to a condominium complex, embers as big as a fist falling on businesses, going into the sky and into the ocean. fortunately they were able to put the fire out at the apartment complex. but, again, it is devastating, this fire contained but still going. injuries but no deaths.
3:05 am
chris? >> that is one part of the situation at least it's not even worse than it could have been, because when buildings in such close proximity and so many different people involved it could have been a real human disaster as well. we thank don for the roaring there. we'll be back to him all morning. this fire particularly devastating because the area was just recovering from sandy. and one of its signature features, a beautiful offshore breeze down there wound up becoming one of the biggest enemies in this fire. let's bring in john sunderman. he just lost his business in the fire. he has to rebuild again. he's joining us from seaside heights. sorry to have to talk to you with this going on. >> you're welcome. not a problem. >> you just in shock right now about this? >> more numb than in shock. you know, we just got the business open july 3rd from the
3:06 am
storm. and then this time i was actually able to watch it go up in flames. not a good thing. >> to say the least. any sense of what made it happen? we're hearing it started in an ice cream store. are they telling you anything about whether it was, was it mechanical? it wasn't arson, right? >> no. it's basically now it's just rumor. you hear different stories from different people. you don't know what's true. you don't know what isn't. we'll have to wait until they do an official investigation and find out what's going on. >> your business is so well known down there, the great name, big heart of john's. >> that's me. >> where was it in terms of where the fire burned. how much of it has been affected? >> to tell you the truth, we could only get to the rear end of it to watch it. we couldn't get on to the boardwalk to see the front of the building. from last night i was able to
3:07 am
get a little bit closer. it looks like the front third of the building and the whole front door was burned. and my building was the last building to be affected by the fire on the boardwalk. it's on lincoln avenue on the boardwalk. >> obviously these types of situations are nothing that you would ever joke about but when you were told there's a huge fire, the boardwalk is going up again, could you believe this could happen to the same area? >> no. i got a call that there was a small fire down all the way away from us. i was like, okay, they'll take care of it, they'll put it out. i wasn't here. my sons were working in the building. by that time, i had called my other sons to come and say, listen, let's just to be prepared, because the last time we didn't think anything was going to happen with the storm and we got devastated. just go in there and try and get my computer out. let's try and get some other stuff out. they managed to get stuff out.
3:08 am
smoke was blowing down. we never thought the building would burn. it started eight blocks away. and it just rapidly went down there. i never, ever thought the building would burn from a fire that started that far away. >> you said you're numb right now. but where do you need to put your head as quickly as possible? can you spend the time with the why us, why me again? or do you have to start thinking about the future right away? >> that's kind of pointless. i had a more hopeless feeling with the storm. but now i've been through it. i know what to expect. i know it can be done. it's time to start over again. >> the silver lining of having lived through it once is that you know you can make it through again. >> yes. exactly. >> well, listen, john, i'm sorry to meet you this way. let us know when you re-open. i want to come down there and visit big heart of john's. >> come down and spend some money. >> i'll spend cnn's money.
3:09 am
i'll come down there on the corporate dime. spend more that way. >> that's even better. they have deep pockets. >> john sundermann. good luck with the rebuild. appreciate you being on the show. thank god nobody was hurt. >> thank you. exactly. >> kate, over to you. >> i love that he can still have a sense of humor and perspective throughout all of this. let's move to colorado where there is no immediate relief for people hit with the historic flooding in the area, more heavy rain is in the forecast as well. flash floods are blamed for at least three deaths now. president obama has now approved emergency federal assistance. cnn's george howell is live in boulder, colorado, covering all the latest. look at the water rushing behind him. good morning, george. >> reporter: kate, good morning. as long as you see what we're seeing here, we're talking about these fast rushing streams of water that are cutting off entire communities, people are fighting to keep the floodwaters out of their homes, as long as this continues to play out here in boulder, the more dangerous the situation becomes.
3:10 am
overnight, residents along boulder creek were warned to get to higher ground for fear of this. fast-mosting water carrying dangerous debris, steadily rising, emergency crews struggled with relentless rain throughout the night. as historic flooding has devastated the area around boulder, colorado. rescuers spent thursday evacuating the worst-hit neighborhoods, getting people and pets to safety. in lyons, officials describe the scene as a 500-year flood. many residents were urged to stay in their homes. dramatic scenes played out across the region, like this one in aurora, a partially submerged car and a woman stranded on top. this firefighter came to her aid. the entire neighborhood of erie, evacuated, fire crews saving precious lives. >> we have declared it was a disaster for the flooded areas,
3:11 am
requesting emergency declaration from fema. >> reporter: this washed out road in jefferson county left residents in jamestown completely cut off from the world, no roads and spotty kplung communication. the trouble began wednesday night after an usually powerful storm dumped more than half a foot of rain in a 19-hour period. you can hear the flood sirens blaring in this video taken by a student at colorado university. in this video, water raging from boulder creek gushed on to campus. thursday, two people were rescued from this horrific scene, trucks twisted and dangled over rushing water. and then this heart-pounding rescue, a man trapped in an overturned car for more than an hour. its with a race against the clock. rescuers finally pulling him to dry land. >> fortunately the windows were up and they had a good air pocket in the vehicles. we were able to go over to it and break the window and get them out.
3:12 am
>> reporter: so here's the thing, while that story aired, we just saw two vehicles come down this street and pass through this water. not a smart idea. simply because when you get into situations like this, you never know how deep the water can be. that's a big danger here. so the longer we see this floodwater out on the streets, there is a concern about people driving through it. you know, chris, the concern about seeing more of those rescues, when people are taken over by this fast rushing water. >> all right, george, thank you for the reporting. the pace of that water makes it especially dangerous, the forecast that much more important. let's get to indra petersons who's tracking the rain in colorado and the situation in the rest of the country. indra, what do we know? >> one of the things we keep looking at is how much rain they received. a lot of places in this region, average yearly amount of rainfall is 15 to 20 inches of rain. this is the amount they have seen since just monday. that really puts in perspective were we're talking about colorado springs, almost 15 inches of rain already.
3:13 am
near jamestown, over 7 inches of rain, unfortunately, yes, there's more rain in the region and in the forecast. there's a hint of good news, a little bit of a change in the wind pattern should actually help as we go through the weekend. yesterday we had a huge southerly flow pulling that moisture from the south. we were seeing it go up the rockies, enhancing the amount of rain we would get out of it. as we go through the weekend, the low shifts to the east. this is huge. you'll see the winds start to come more out of the west. we'll be seeing a lot more of this into the new mexico area. with that, again, we'll be looking at another 2 to 3 inches of rain still possible over the next several days. the other thing i want to show you, look at the northeast. this is a storm that pushed through yesterday. with that, temperatures backing way off. as we go through the weekend it will feel like fall. >> keep an eye on the colorado for us. we'll come back to you. thank you so much, indra. let's turn to the debate over syria as secretary of state john kerry and russia's foreign
3:14 am
minister meet for a second day of talks in geneva. kerry says the talks with russia will resume later this month as well when the u.n. general assembly meets here in new york. let's head live to cnn's jim sciutto, secretary of state in geneva. any encouraging signs this morning, jim? >> reporter: i think, kate, that's one encouraging sign that they'll meet again. secretary kerry this morning saying that he and lavrov have a lot of home work to do, in the meantime working out the details. you get the sense of how the time line can sketch out. here in geneva, the morning session is over. as he left that meeting, secretary kerry told us they had a good constructive start to their talks. day two of crucial talks aimed at a diplomatic solution to the syria crisis. and the u.s. and russia still at odds over the time line for the syrians to comply but this morning, u.s. secretary of state
3:15 am
john kerry stressed that both countries are committed to finding a solution. >> i think we would both agree that we had a constructive conversation. we are committed to try to work together. beginning with this initiative on the chemical weapons in hopes that those efforts could pay off and bring peace and stability to a war-torn part of the world. >> u.s. officials say the burden is very much on syria to prove it is committed. >> this is not a game. and i said that to my friend, sergey when we talked about it initially. it has to be real. >> american and russian experts are moving immediately to the nuts and bolts of cataloging, collecting and destroying one of the world's largest stockpiles of chemical weapons. first test of syria's commitment say u.s. officials will be whether it provides a full accounting of its stockpiles, including exact locations. >> syrian president assad made his own demands in a new
3:16 am
interview on russian tv saying syria will accept the russian plan if america stops military threats and if other countries supplying the rebels with chemical weapons also abide by the agreement. however, secretary kerry was quick to reiterate the u.s. reserves the right to take military action. >> should diplomacy fail, force might be necessary. >> reporter: the negotiations most skeptical observers are the syrian opposition described by one u.s. official as upset and distrustful of the entire process. those doubts were magnified by rebel claims first reported on cnn that syria moved some of its weapons to lebanon and iraq, claims quickly denied by the iraqi government and looming over the discussions, a gaping trust deficit between the u.s. and russia. a point highlighted in the seemingly lighthearted moment just as the talks began. >> can you give me the last part of the translation, please? >> you want me to take your word for that?
3:17 am
>> u.s. officials tell me this morning that the focus of these talks are on the technical details, including the size and location of syria's chemical stock piles. this essential with the stories swirling of syria moving their chemical stockpiles around, hiding them in advance of any u.s. military action or in advance of a deal like the one that's being discussed right here. that's a key first test of syria's and russia's commitment, how forthcoming are the syrians with the details of where these chemical weapons are hidden. chris and kate. >> all right, jim sciutto with the secretary of state in geneva. thanks so much, jim. a lot of news for you this morning. let's get right to john berman, in for michaela pereira. >> making news right now, a u.s. consulate in afghanistan under attack this morning. a truck sped toward the front gate of the consulate in horrah. nine people are in the hospital
3:18 am
but no americans were killed. the taliban tells cnn it is responsible for this attack. al qaeda's leader threatening the united states, urging followers to land a large strike and provoke the u.s. into spending more money on security. that audio message from al zawahari was posted on the internet the day after the u.s. honored the victims of the september 11th attacks. he used the boston marathon bombing as an example of continued attacks on american soil. new developments in connection with the boston marathon bombing. arraignment day for three of suspect dzhokhar tsarnaev's friends. also, tamerlan tsarnaev in-laws appeared on thursday. another shark bite in florida, leaving a 13-year-old girl with a cut on her heel. lucky.

3:20 am
>> what's wrong with me? >> don't go into it. we have news about a big deal, a big tweet that's happening and you had not even mean. twitter is revealing that it's going public. we'll tell you why this might be perfect timing. >> this is why i didn't know john's name because i was focused on this, football fanatics counting down the hours to manning versus manning. the giants host the broncos. why this could be the last time ever the mannings go head to head. ♪ norfolk southern what's your function? ♪ ♪ hooking up the country helping business run ♪ ♪ build! we're investing big to keep our country in the lead. ♪ load! we keep moving to deliver what you need. and that means growth, lots of cargo going all around the globe. cars and parts, fuel and steel, peas and rice, hey that's nice! ♪ norfolk southern what's your function? ♪ ♪ helping this big country move ahead as one ♪ ♪ norfolk southern how's that function? ♪

3:32 am
governor chris christie is vowing to rebuild again. we will have a live report from the scene at the top of the hour. president obama has signed an emergency declaration sending federal assistance to parts of colorado affected by damaging storms and flash floods. look at that. the relentless rain is complicating the rescue efforts. people have been left stranded and crews are struggling to help because of the rushing water and flooded streets. at least three people have been killed. more rain in the forecast for today. a newly wed woman charged with murdering her husband of just eight days is out of jail this morning. a montana judge releasing jordan linn graham on bond and putting her on home confinement. authorities say she's admitted pushing her husband off a cliff to his death in glacier national park after they had an argument. much more on this later in the show. marriage licenses for same-sex couples in pennsylvania on hold for now. a judge ordering a county clerk to obey a state ban on gay marriage and stop issuing

3:34 am
the lady getting thrown out. >> maybe the game wasn't as interesting i indiana treft ii interesting. congress is struggling to come together and avoid a looming government shutdown. sound like deja vu? john king is here for more on this. let's talk about geneva. john kerry meeting with secretary lavrov for a second day. what's the read coming out of washington and how things are going so far? of course it's all behind closed doors so far. we don't know the details. what are you hearing? >> that's what makes it hard, kate. you see the public statements. assad saying the only way he'll go forward is if the united states takes the threat of force off the table. secretary kerry saying publicly yesterday, u.s. military assets will stay in the region and they'll be poised to strike if
3:35 am
necessary. we're off to a tense start. literally, three minutes ago i got an e-mail from one of the u.s. officials there as part of the delegation who says they are grinding away at all levels. a bit of a more positive take that they're behind closed doors making progress. what is the challenge for secretary kerry? number one to get a commitment from the russian foreign minister and number two, then the hard part, get into the details so they can leave geneva and work on a resolution. if you see that turning into a security council debate next week, the secretary is making at least what he believes to be progress. >> jim sciutto said the fact they're planning another meeting this month, that's even a sign of progress at this point. back here at home with the congressional vote delayed, members of congress are getting back -- does it seem they are picking up where they left off before they left for the month-long august recess with budget battles and no common ground? >> i think it's actually important to remember where they're picking up if you're in the republican side of things is to the right of where they left
3:36 am
off. that's making it very hard for speaker john boehner. he thought before the break he would be able to thread the needle and deal with the concerns of many tea party and other conservatives in his caucus. they don't want to do anything that gives the president money for his health care law. they're looking for every vehicle they can to deny the funding. the speaker thought he was going to work something out but he's been unable to do that. the members that have come back from recess, largely by activity from the tea party groups and constituent groups, a lot of this is engineered by groups aopposed to the health care law. makes it difficult, kate. you know how the issues work, whether it's the continuing resolution to fund, the debt ceiling debate. those will be tough, sensitive negotiations with the democrats anyway. the speaker has to try to figure out what to do within his own republican family. it's not easy. >> one thing i think is important when talking about the battle picking back up, we were
3:37 am
looking at it, there are five scheduled legislative days in that house between now and when we would be facing a government shutdown the end of the fiscal year. there's not a lot of time. they can move their working days if need be. is there any opening at this point for what republicans are generally proposing? either defunding or delaying the president's health care law in order to then pass a budget and raise the debt ceiling? is there any opening? >> some republicans see an opening because public opposition to the health care law is up a bit. one proposal some republicans are thinking of is let's give the democrats back some of that money. remember the so-called sequester that forced budget cuts, let's promise the democrats we'll fully fund a lot of the programs you were mad got cut and you give us a one-year delay in the president's health care law. some republicans are trying to get enough conservative democrats with tough districts back home to say yes to that. but here's why it's a big no. the senate democratic leader harry reid has said no. he won't go along.
3:38 am
kate, there's a guy in the white house, he's named barack obama, that's his health care plan. he has a veto pen and he says he won't go along. the republicans will keep pushing but they done have the a way to get it done. >> they don't right now have consensus as you keep saying in their own party in the house. that's the big problem that john boehner faces. as harry reid said often, magic can happen when they're up against a deadline. >> magic, yes. >> we'll see. >> some call it other than magic. let's be optimistic and call it magic. >> for today at least. thanks, john. happy friday. >> if you don't believe in magic then it doesn't exist. >> that's right. >> you have to believe. isn't that true? >> when we're relying on math nick congress you know where we are in this country. >> who will be the rabbit? that's what we'll have to see. coming up on "new day," a cnn exclusive. a medical student in michigan shot to death. you remember this story. it's been nearly two months. no hard leads. why? paul dewolf's parents are frantic for answers.

3:43 am

3:58 am
turned the ball over four different times. you can never win a football game if you turn the ball over that many times. as far as new england goes, this was as ugly as we've seen brady's offense play in a long time. the patriots offense had more punts than first downs. as far as the jets go, geno smith did show flashes of solid play. in the fourth quarter he threw three interceptions. the last one came during a potential comeback drive. it was frustrating pore both teams. a big scrum after a late hit. the patriots squeaked one out in an otherwise ugly game, 13-10. trending now on bleesh bleacherreport.com. number one alabama at number six texas a & m. the challenge for texas a & m,

4:02 am
the flames up and down the recently reconstructed boardwalk. cnn's don lemon is in seaside park, new jersey with more. >> kate, as the sun comes up here on the jersey shore, the daylight is revealing a situation that's much worse than the darkness showed. 50 businesses, maybe more, could be demolished by this fire and what hurricane sandy didn't take away, this fire certainly did. a state of emergency on the jersey shore, hundreds of firefighters battling a massive intern know that raged into the night. the fire finally under control. the fast-moving blaze destroying dozens of businesses in a six-block stretch in just hours. along the boardwalk between seaside park and seaside heights. two communities hit hard by superstorm sandy, nearly one year ago. >> i said to my staff, i feel like i want to throw up. >> reporter: this amateur video shows the fire erupting at this ice cream stand just after 2:00 p.m. on thursday. >> don't go in there!
4:03 am
>> reporter: within hours, the fire engulfed block after block, spread by high winds, gusting over 30 miles per hour. >> my manage myrrh came in the stand and told me to get out because there was smoke coming up through the boardwalk. we ran away and turned around again and there was flames coming out of the building. >> reporter: the inferno so big, first responders had to pump water from this nearby bay. the fire eventually contained by a 20-foot wide trench built by firefighters. >> within 15 minutes there was more flames i ever seen in my life. i got scared. it was amazing. it's terrible what's going on, it really is. >> it's horrifying what's going on here. the whole town, the people that grew up here, the people that work here are suffering a lot of damage. >> after everything that we just went through for rebuilding everything, especially the shore, and to know that it's all burning down now. i'm sorry. >> reporter: the thick black smoke could be seen for miles. governor chris christie urging the public to stay out of the area. >> my advice to you, in fact, my
4:04 am
admonition to you is do not come here. do not travel. stay away. >> reporter: this area near the pier, one of the few stretches of boardwalk that survived sandy has fallen victim to this incredible fire. the neighboring pier's roller coaster washed into the ocean became a symbolic image of jersey strength. repairs to the boardwalk after sandy completed in time for its summer season, re-opening this may. the state's resolve being tested once again. >> and listen, this is us. as soon as this is over we'll pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and get back to work. >> reporter: hours after this fire started it is still going. but firefighters tell us it is contained. every single piece of equipment from neighboring towns were brought out to help fight this fire, at least 35 different fire companies, 500 firefighters. there were injuries from smoke inhalation but no deaths. and what added insult to injury
4:05 am
here, hurricane sandy destroyed some of the water lines and they couldn't get water initially on the fire. back to you, chris. >> don, thank you for the reporting this morning. let's bring in town administrator robert martucci. he was in a meeting across the street when the fire began. he joins us along with bill a e akers, the mayor of seaside heights. thank you for being with us this morning. i'm sorry for what's happening in your community. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. >> mr. mayor, can you give us a status check? what's the latest on the situation? >> that's what i was in the process of doing this morning. i think that the good news is, everything has been contained as of 7:45 last night. where they put the break in on lincoln avenue, it held. we're about 2 1/2 blocks into our community, all the buildings are destroyed and, of course, the boardwalk. we're going to go up and do an
4:06 am
assessment and put everything back together as soon as possible. i mean, if there's a silver lining, we just built it, we have the specs, we know what we're doing, we'll get it out to bid and get it back up. >> that's an interesting perspective, because of what you've just gone through, you are somewhat better prepared to go forward. obviously horrible preparation to need. mr. martucci, you saw how this fire started. any expectation that it would grow as quickly as it did? >> well, our offices are directly across from where the fire emanated, which was an ice cream shop. when i went out to the front of our administration building, we saw the first, actually puffs of white smoke. within minutes our responders were there, dousing the flames with water. no, i don't think anyone could have believed that it could roll so fast. problem is, we had a 20, 25 mile-an-hour wind that was blowing straight up the boardwalk and under the
4:07 am
boardwalk which was fuel for this fire and drove it straight up the boardwalk. before you know, you had everything engulfed in flames. >> firefighters were saying it was like it was being turbo charged by the wind whipping in. they also said this fire could have spread more than it did if there wasn't so much community action of counties giving up resources. was that your experience, gentlemen, in watching the first responders? >> no doubt about it. that's what these guys do. and, remember, a lot of these companies are volunteer companies, not paid companies. if there's another silver lining in this, remember, this is the firemen's convention this weekend in wildwood. had this happened two days later, there would have been nobody around to fight this fire. there would have been skeleton crews. they came from every crew, burlington, monmouth, ocean county. we've just so grateful for what
4:08 am
these gentlemen do every single day. and putting their lives on the line to save life and property in other communities, not just their own. >> how long did it take you to come back in that area from sandy and how long do you think you're looking at going forward from here? >> well, it took us almost a year. seaside park, our goal was to be in shape for the summer season. and i think we made that goal, all of our businesses worked very hard. we worked very hard to try to pave the way with permitting processes to make sure they were able to do what they needed to do. again, what we'll do, we'll do the same thing like mayor akers just said, we learned from the experience we've just gone through. what we'll do is meet with the owners of the businesses, see what they plan on doing. once they give us their plans we'll expedite we can everything we can through the township to make sure we can rebuild and be ready again for the next summer
4:09 am
season for their business. >> we'll check in with you both. sorry to have to talk to you about this. when the good news comes that you're up and ready, let's get you back on to let everybody know it's time to go back down the shore. >> thank you, chris. >> all the best going forward, gentlemen. kate, over to you. >> they show such resolve. but it is just unfair. let's turn now to the emergency happening in colorado. flash flood warnings, rivers and creeks spilling into homes, on to streets and bridges and sweeping away cars and turn something towns into islands. at least three people have died there so far and the rain just keeps coming. cnn's george howell is in boulder, colorado, a city that's been threatened by a wall of water. good morning, george. >> reporter: kate, good morning. the good news here, the rain has stopped for the moment. that's great news, we'll take it. step out here into the shallow parts, the water keeps coming, the debris keeps rolling down. in many cases entire communities
4:10 am
have been cut off. overnight, residents along boulder creek were warned to get to higher ground for fear of this. fast-moving water carrying dangerous debris, steadily rising, emergency crews struggled with relentless rain throughout the night. as historic flooding has devastated the area around boulder, colorado. rescuers spent thursday evacuating the worst-hit neighborhoods, getting people and pets to safety. in the small town of lyons, officials described the scene as a 500-year flood. many residents were urged to stay in their homes. dramatic scenes played out across the region, like this one in aurora, a partially submerged car and a woman stranded on top. this firefighter came to her aid. the entire neighborhood of erie, evacuated, fire crews saving precious lives. >> we have declared it was a disaster for the flooded areas, requesting emergency declaration from fema. >> reporter: this washed out
4:11 am
road in jefferson county left residents in jamestown completely cut off from the world, no roads and spotty communication. the trouble began wednesday night after an usually powerful storm dumped more than half a foot of rain in a 19-hour period. you can hear the flood sirens blaring in this video taken by a student at colorado university. in this video, water raging from boulder creek gushed on to campus. thursday, two people were rescued from this horrific scene, trucks twisted and dangled over rushing water. and then this heart-pounding rescue, a man trapped in an overturned car for more than an hour. it was a race against the clock. rescuers finally pulling him to dry land. >> fortunately the windows were up and they had a good air pocket in the vehicles. we were able to go over to it and break the window and get them out.
4:12 am
>> reporter: so one thing i want to point out, i'm standing in shallow water. you're seeing a person drive through the situation. you can't really judge how deep the water is. not a smart idea, to drive through situations like this simply because when you get into -- say again? >> can i get out down there? >> i think so but i would get out of this area. >> this area is cut off some public access. i don't know how he got through. hopefully he gets out. that's what people are being warned to stay away from, the officials want them to stay oust the floodwaters, chris. >> all right, george, thank you for giving him good advice and appreciate the report this morning. the flood victims and emergency crews in colorado need relief from mother nature but it doesn't look like they're going to get any. let's get over to meteorologist indra petersons. remind people how much water it takes afloat away a car. >> two feet. that's all it takes. one foot of water makes you weigh 1,500 pounds less. 6 inches of water, that sweeps away a person.
4:13 am
please do not do that. they've seen 7 to 15 inches of rain in the area from new mexico through colorado, more rain expected, 2 to 4. >>s. new mexico definitely going to be the hot spot today. a shift in the wind direction, colorado should help them out and they should see less rain. other big story, in the northeast, wow, what a cold front that moved through yesterday, a lot of severe weather. these temperatures are dropping significantly. we're talking about 15, 20 degrees cooler as we go into the weekend. those 90s going down to the 60s. yes. >> the roller coaster continues. thank you so much. let's turn now to the crisis in syria, though. tough talk coming from secretary of state john kerry. secretary of state still in geneva trying to negotiate a diplomatic solution. kerry warning, though, a military strike against the assad regime is still on the table if these talks stall. cnn's chief national security correspondent jim sciutto is traveling with the secretary of state in geneva. good morning, jim.
4:14 am
>> reporter: good morning, kate. that question of the use of military force is still the most fundamental disagreement between the u.s. and russia, may very well be why they said they'll have to extend the talks through the end of the month when they will meet again in new york around the u.n. general assembly. secretary kerry telling us this morning that both sides have home work to do in the meantime. here in geneva, the morning session is over as he left, secretary kerry told us that their start to talks was good and constructive. day two of crucial talks aimed at a diplomatic solution to the syria crisis. and the u.s. and russia still at odds over the time line for the syrians to comply but this morning, u.s. secretary of state john kerry stressed that both countries are committed to finding a solution. >> i think we would both agree that we had a constructive conversation. we are committed to try to work together, beginning with this initiative on the chemical weapons in hopes that those
4:15 am
efforts could pay off and bring peace and stability to a war-torn part of the world. >> reporter: u.s. officials say the burden is very much on syria to prove it is committed. >> this is not a game. and i said that to my friend sergey when we talked about it initially. it has to be real. >> reporter: american and russian experts are moving immediately to the nuts an bolts of cataloging, collecting and destroying one of the world's largest stockpiles of chemical weapons. first test of syria's commitment will be whether it provides a full accounting of its stockpiles, including exact locations. syrian president assad made his own demands in a new interview on russian tv saying, quote, syria will accept the russian plan if america stops military threats. and if other countries supplying the rebels with chemical weapons also abide by the agreement. however, secretary kerry was quick to reiterate the u.s.
4:16 am
reserves the right to take military action. >> should diplomacy fail, force might be necessary. >> reporter: the negotiations most skeptical observers are the syrian opposition, described by one u.s. official as upset and distrustful of the entire process. his doubts were magnified by rebel claims first reported on cnn that syria has moved some of its weapons to lebanon and iraq, claims quickly denied by the iraqi government and looming over the discussions, a gaping trust deficit between the u.s. and russia. a point highlighted in the seemingly heiglighthearted momes the talks began. >> can you give me the last part of the translation, please. >> you want me to take your word for it? >> reporter: u.s. official tells me this morning that the focus of their talks now very much on the technical details, including the locations of these syrian chemical weapons depots. that's of course essential with these accounts swirling of the syrian military moving all these
4:17 am
chemical weapons around, hiding them from u.s. or western military action. and this is the key test of syria's compliance with this, how forthcoming will they be with all this information? kate and chris, we still don't know how well they're going to follow through. >> that's really the basic question, if you can't answer that, then there's nowhere to go from there. jim, thank you so much. a lot of news developing at the house hour. let's get right to john berman who's in for michaela pereira. a massive explosion rocking an area near the u.s. consulate in afghanistan. this happened during an intense gun fight between militants and security fors. the blast causing major damage to the consulate's front gate. there were no u.s. casualties. the taliban has claimed responsibility. an alabama man who joined a terror group in somalia reportedly has been killed. militants claim the 29-year-old omar hamami was ambushed by members of al shabaab. he was in the group at one time, may have been leading the group at one time but later fell out
4:18 am
with its leaders and criticized them on twitter. that might have sealed his fate. the fbi put hamammi offered a $5 million reward for his capture last year. police are trying to unravel a mystery after four people were found shot to death in an abandoned car in tennessee. a passer-by found the victims on a road on renegade mountain. it was once a retirement resort but is now home to a few families. authorities say they have no motive or suspect. an enormous waterspout on lake michigan, caught on camera off the coast of kenosha, wisconsin. that is amazing. this footage was captured wednesday afternoon. there were several other waterspouts spotted on lake michigan as well. at least one funnel cloud was reported on land near the lake. amazing sights there. this amazing as well.

[ male announcer ] this is jim, a man who doesn't stand still. but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation -- an irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move.
4:21 am
jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto®
4:22 am
if you have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto® and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is not for patients with artificial heart valves. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once a day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring -- no known dietary restrictions. for more information and savings options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.

among some experts who say the first lady is just plain wrong. they say most americans are sufficiently hydrated and so an extra glass of water isn't going to increase your energy or make you feel better. >> there's no good evidence that drinking extra water is going to lead to a healthier existence. >> reporter: another claim from the first lady that's all wet, according to the experts we talked to, drinking more water helps you have more energy to do more, longer and with better focus. the experts say extra water won't do any of those things. >> they decided to sort of support some of these urban myths that have been really debunked over the years. >> reporter: they do applaud the first lady's initiatives on diet and exercise. >> the first lady's health campaign is based on a lot of science, the claims about extra water itself leading to extra health benefits is a bit overstated. >> reporter: the bottom line, of course you should stay hydrated
4:26 am
and water is better than soda but don't think one extra glass is going to change your life. our experts said the first lady missed a great opportunity, the opportunity to tell americans, look, drinking water is much better than drinking soda which is full of sugar. of course we have an obesity crisis in this country. it's interesting to know this drink up campaign the first lady is doing is being promoted by the american beverage association and the companies in that group sell soda, among other things. >> it seems, though, that is the message she's sending in the film they played, it says you've got to drink something, why not make it water. >> i get it. >> you do? >> i don't get the scrutiny. i'm with you. >> okay. coming up on "new day," it's been almost two months since university of michigan student paul dewolf was killed with a single bullet. problem is nobody knows why, who did it, no real evidence, no leads.

4:36 am
>> no. nothing at all. he loved life. he loved his friends. he just had such a passion about doing everything. there wasn't any time that he said that he was concerned about anybody. >> the home invasion that took place on the same block the day before your son was killed, any reason to believe it could be connected? >> we don't have any reason to believe that. we've not been led to believe anything along the line of that. we are aware of that but there's been no connection that we've been made aware of there. >> i'm looking behind you at the pictures of your son, the american flag there. he had accomplished so much. and as parents you had to be so proud. how have you coped during this time? losing someone that meant so much to you. >> a lot of prayer, but we have such a good support system through our greater family, through our neighborhood,
4:37 am
through our church. but definitely a lot of prayer. >> and thomas, a big reason we're doing this story is that we want to keep it in people's recollections, because very often in cases like this, it's what somebody remembers or somebody decides to come forward about that makes the difference. what do you want people to know, thomas? >> the ann arbor police have posted a $10,000 reward along with the university of michigan. we're looking for anybody that has any knowledge at all about this incident. of someone coming in and shooting our son. we would like them to contact the police and give them any information they might have, if they heard somebody briefly talking about it, any interest at all, we really need to have you contact the police and let them know what you know about this incident. >> what have you been hearing from his friends and from the community about the impact that your son made even in his short life? >> we've heard from teachers.
4:38 am
we've heard from patients. we've really heard from his fellow medical students. and it's been a lot of fun to hear how paul helped them, how paul came alongside them. how much fun that they had together. that was such a healing process, just to sit the day after we found out he was shot, to go over there and sit with the medical students and listen to their memories and what they had done with paul. >> i know for a family the last way you want to remember your son is how he lost his life. what is the way that you're going to remember your son? what is one memory, one recollection you'd like to share about who your son was? >> i believe that the memory for my daughter was that she had the opportunity the saturday before, she spent the entire day with him. they were paddle boarding on the river in ann arbor, they went to
4:39 am
movies, they went downtown, enjoyed good meals together. they had a great day together. for me, my last memory of paul was we had taken him shopping in the detroit area. when we came back and dropped him off there was a new student coming to the house and typical of paul, he ran across the yard to help that student get into the house because they were locked out. he was there to welcome them in. as he was closing the door and going through the door, he turned around and in his customary way he blew us a kiss and waved to us and said see you later, dad. >> do you need for the answer to come here, or are you going to move on in your own way regardless? how much does this mean? >> i think that for myself, we can't stop our life right now. paul would not want us to stop. we need to continue on. the memories will always be there. he was a very integral part of our family and each one of our
4:40 am
lives. he would want us to move on. we're going to do that the best that we can. >> i'm sorry to meet both of you this way. we will do what we can to keep this story in people's memories, refresh it and do what we can to help with the investigation. the ann arbor police have an anonymous tip line, the number, 734-794-6939 or call crime stoppers at 1-800-speak-up. that's 773-2587. thomas, kristine, thank you very much for joining us. we'll do the best we can to help. >> thank you, chris. >> kate, over to you. >> thank you so much. coming up next on "new day," people jumping into action when an suv jumps a curb and hits a group of middle schoolers. good samaritans lifting the two-ton suv off of them. the desperate and dramatic effort to save their lives and get them out. that will be ahead. but then there's also this,

weather. good morning, indra. >> good morning. the thing to put this all in perspective is remember this area has an average 15 to 20 inches of rain since just monday, many places seeing anywhere from 70, even 15 inches of rain in just four days. so that's obviously the problem, this huge amount of rainfall. today's forecast we're still looking for rain in colorado, but we're going to see more rain farther to the south in new mexico. the reason for that a little bit of a shift in the wind that changes everything. instead of it coming out of the south bringing moisture farther up to the north we're going to see the low slide across and more westerly winds w that we're not going to see it enhanced onto the rockies and not as far up towards colorado. we're talking about more rain in a place that already flooded. the rain that cruised through, severe weather overnight. high pressure is in place and cold air is dropping down from condition canada. these are the highs look at cleveland, 17 below normal this
5:11 am
weekend. chicago and charleston in the 60s. allentown the 70s and it's lingering all weekend long. some people like football, not one of them, sorry, i'il you'll the cool weather. >> that's why you're not sitting at the table. thanks, indra. another major story is the international debate over syria. secretary of state john kerry just announcing that he'll head to jerusalem this weekend to talk with israeli leaders about the crisis. today, kerry is meeting again with russia's foreign minister in switzerland. they have discussing a russian plan to put syria's chemical weapons under international control. cnn's jim sciutto is live in geneva with the secretary of state. jim, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, chris. i just saw the russian and american delegates ogo back into session, meeting again, as you mentioned, secretary kerry and lavrov will meet again later in
5:12 am
new york this morning as discussions continue. you can see how easily the time line on these talks can grow but also the subject matter. kerry and lavrov will not just talk about chemical weapons in syria but possibly a broader diplomatic solution to the civil war in syria. secretary kerry will go from here to rejuice lem, i'll join him to discuss with benjamin netanyahu the discuss of peace in the middle east. secretary kerry told us they've gotten off to a "constructive start." day two of crucial talks aimed at a diplomatic solution to the syria crisis, the u.s. and russia still at odds over the time line for the syrians to comply, but this morning, u.s. secretary of state john kerry stressed that both countries are committed to finding a solution. >> i think we would both agree that we had a constructive conversation. we are committed to try to work
5:13 am
together, beginning with this initiative on the chemical weapons, in hopes that those efforts could pay off and bring peace and stability to a war-torn part of the world. >> reporter: u.s. officials say the burden is very much on syria to prove it is committed. >> this is not a game, and i said that to my friend sergey when we talked about it initially. it has to be real. >> reporter: experts are moving to the nuts and bolts of cataloguing, collecting and destroying one of the world's largest stockpiles of chemical weapons. first test of syria's commitment say u.s. officials will be whether it provides a full accounting of its stockpiles including exact locations. syrian president assad made his own demands in a new interview on russian tv saying "syria will accept the russian plan if america stops military threats and if other countries supplying the rebels with chemical weapons
5:14 am
also abide by the agreement." however, secretary kerry was quick to reiterate the u.s. reserves the right to take military action. >> should diplomacy fail, force might be necessary. >> reporter: the negotiations' most skeptical observers are the syrian opposition, described by one u.s. official as upset and distrustful of the entire process, doubts magnified by rebel claims first reported on cnn that syria has moved some of its weapons to lebanon and iraq. claimed denied quick by by the iraqi government and a gaping trust deficit between the u.s. and russia, a point highlighted in the light-hearted moment before the transaction began. >> you can give me the last part of the translation, please? >> you want me to take your word for it? >> a little early for that. >> you said constructive talks is how they were described before. in this kind of mystery
5:15 am
vocabulary of diplomacy, constructive talks are much better than frank discussions, right, but not as good as productive talks, right? >> no question. in diplomatic speak, it would mean they're practically throwing chairs at each other. productive would mean something better. in my experience the diplomats aren't following a glossary to describe where they stand. it is reflective, these are difficult talks. the u.s. and the russians have very real disagreements on whether there should be a threat of military force. they have a lot of work to do, to extend the talks later to new york around the u.n. general assembly so still a lot of work to do. >> always trying to decode what's being told. jim sciutto good to have you with us to help that. appreciate the reporting this morning. kate, over to you. >> thanks, chris. how realistic is a deal when it comes to syria? joining us to discuss the continuing negotiations is peter
5:16 am
beinart, senior writer at "the daily beast." great to have you with us as always. jim laid it out well, today is wrapping up a second day of meetings between secretary kerry and foreign minister lavrov. what do you think people should take away from these meetings so far? >> i think unfortunately the chances of success are very low, even if the russians and bashar assad really wanted to give up all of their chemical weapons, there's a civil war going on in syria. the pentagon has estimated it would take 75,000 troops to secure the inspectors who would have to go from rebel to government-held areas to try to get these chemical weapons and there's no real incentive for bashar assad to want to get rid of those weapons once the threat of u.s. military force recedes. >> and the challenges are immense, there's no question about that. secretary kerry said early the threat of u.s.ily m military ac remains on the table.
5:17 am
is asad said they'll only agree to the proposal if the military threat is off the table. if you can't get beyond that point where do you go from there? >> once the threat is off the table the syrian incentive to cooperate disappears. the american threat is only as compelling as congress's willingness to vote for military action and the whole reason we're here in the first place is it looked like president obama was going to lose that vote in congress. >> that's an excellent point and the immediate concern as jim sciutto was bringing sup verifying where and how much the chemical weapons stockpiles are. reports out yesterday from the rebels, they believe assad is moving some of the chemical weapons out of the country, "the wall street journal" reporting this morning that the regime has been moving the chemical weapons around the country, possibly to 50 different sites in previous months. how confident really do you think the obama administration can be that they're getting a full account of this? >> remember what happened in iraq. iraq wasn't having a civil war. there were inspector there is for a decade and we didn't know
5:18 am
on the eve of the iraq war. famously we were wrong about what weapons he had. this is extremely difficult to do and for bashar assad it's rational to move the chemical weapons. they're an evil weapon but for him they're a way of keeping himself in power in the middle of a war. >> diplomacy is a delicate dance and it can be like watching paint dry watching it get to work, but where do we move from here, they're facing a short time line to decide one way or another. >> the administration is playing a bad hand. the only thing they could credibly say it's not likely bashar assad will use the chemical weapons during the war. if they continue to hold the line, they could get the weapons out of there but further down the line. >> thank you so much. we'll talk much more about this
5:19 am
next week. >> thank you, you, too. let's get straight to john berman in for michaela with the latest news. >> the taliban claiming responsibility for an attack on a u.s. consulate in harat, afghanistan. truck sped toward the front gate, insurgents fired on security guards before the truck exploded. no americans were reported killed but nine people were hurt and the building was damaged. a day after americans paused to remember the attacks of september 11th, al qaeda's leader released a message with new threats against the u.s., aman al zawahiri quoted to "land a large strike even it takes patience" kripted the boston marathon bombings and forcing the u.s. to spend more money on security to hurt the american economy. jeffrey zients will succeed gene sperling. he served ads the nation's chief performance officer.

welcome back to "new day." this could be the worst year for me seeless for two decades. according to the cdc, there were 159 cases in this country between january and august. so what is behind the resurgence? health officials say parents who object to vaccinating their kids. chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta is here with more on this, this morning. sanjay, how concerning is this report, do you think? >> you hear the number 159 and you may say initially that doesn't sound like a lot. give you the context, back in
5:29 am
2000 we thought we had it eradicated, that there wouldn't be a problem so any number is concerning. there's been about 50 to 60 cases a year roughly since 2000 and 159 by august. if that trend continues, kate, this could be the worst me seeless numbers in about two decades so that's quite concerning and we also know that we know the consequences of me seeless, that momeasles, more p are not getting vaccinated at the hear of the issue. numbers high this year could be even higher in years to come. >> this isn't just one place and one outbreak. >> right. >> there was a major outbreak last month at a church in texas, one in new york, two very different parts of the country. what are the factors that play in how this spreads? >> the biggest thing that links these two different parts of the country together are that you have pockets of people who object to vaccinations, aren't getting them, and we see the consequences of that very quickly when it comes to
5:30 am
measles. so the not getting vaccinated not only for the children, but people in the surrounding community are more at risk as well, extended family, people who live in that particular community, health care workers, so all of that is of concern. we don't see it spreading into the general population yet, kate. i think to your question, but that's the concern is that right now it's clustered to pockets but all of a sudden if you introduce someone who is not, who is susceptible for whatever reason, they could become a carrier and could you see a wider spreading of that. >> as if people need to be reminded the risks are so high, it is so contagious for why your kids need to be vaccinated. i know it's a source of much debate but there is science behind some of this. dr. sanjay gupta great to see you. >> you got it, kate, good morning, thank you. >> of course. tune in to "sanjay gupta m.d." saturday, 4:30 p.m. eastern saturday and sunday 7:30 a.m. >> tonight be sure to catch a reairing of sanjay's powerful documentary "weed" at 10:00 p.m.
